This week we pair in the best way: two people we admire and think would like each other!    Ahsan Butt is a writer, whose short fiction and essays have appeared in The Massachusetts Review, Pacifica Literary Review, The Offing, The James Franco Review, and more. He loves to read and finds writing mostly excruciating. His interests are confusingly scattered and if looked at closely, may reveal some pattern he's not yet ready to see. Among his favorites: author interviews, essays on Twin Peaks, apocalyptic anxiety, Batman (but not all Batman), and horror (but not most horror). He was born in Toronto, is of Pakistani descent, and currently lives in Los Angeles, where he and his wife are currently raising a terrified cat. Twitter: @ahsanb_   Emily Schwartz is a playwright who has written many strange, macabre yet musical things mostly in Chicago with her company The Strange Tree Group. Currently she is work-shopping a musical about Typhoid Mary and writing her first novel (it's a ghost story).  Instagram: @emilywritesplays / website: http://www.strangetree.org/ for information on past productions.   We're excited to announce that we're on ALL (or maybe most) of the places you like to listen to your podcasts!

"Complimentary! The Podcast!" is based on a two person improv show featuring Kelly Lohman and Amanda Troop, in which they compliment each other into extremely weird, but somehow uplifting scenarios. In the podcast, we'll be complimenting not only each other, but also things and people in the world, a variety of guests, and also suggesting pairings that we hope will delight you. And maybe some free stuff along the way as well.
